CEI Report post Posted July 22, 2011 As most of you all know National Forest across the country are changing their Travel Management Plans. Below are some links to the PDFs of the NEW maps we have been able to find: Kaibab NF Williams Ranger District Kaibab NF Tusayan Ranger District is expected to update everything in August. Kaibab NF North Ranger District is still reviewing comments & options from what we can find. Prescott NF East-Half Map Prescott NF West-Half Map A decision on the Coconino National Forest Travel Management Rule is expected in Summer 2011 and the Motor Vehicle Use Map to begin enforcement of the Travel Management Rule is expected in December 2011. Apache Sitgreaves NF was suppose to release their NEW Travel Management Map in March of 2011. We just called them this morning & they don't know when they will be published. You can find the old maps & other information at this link: Apache-Sitgreaves NF Travel Management Tonto NF Travel Management INDEX map You can pull up the pdf of each individual Zones-Districts on their Travel Management page. Coronado NF has 3 different temporary pdfs: Patagonia Redington Santa Rita You can get any of the maps for FREE at the offices. Personally, I realize on some of the NF we had too many roads, but it seems like a lot of red tape to jump through for us hunters. Another issue I have is why aren't all of these maps uniform & published at the same time? If you have anything to add, feel free chime on in... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 22, 2011 From the Kaibab NF map: Parking along designated Routes Motor vehicles may be parked up to 30 feet from the edge of the road surface when it is safe to do so without causing damage to NFS resources or facilities, unless prohibited by state law, a traffic sign, or an order(36CFR261.54). Motorized dispersed camping is prohibited off designated routes. Obtain a recreation map from your USDA-FS office for more information. So if I read this correctly, travel trailers, RVs, tent trailers and vehicles cannot be more than 10 yards from the road for dispersed camping. What happened to wording for use of the pre-existing sites? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

missedagain Report post Posted July 22, 2011 When this was in comment stage everyone I talked to had the attitude that there were to many roads and this was a great thing, once enforcement starts on this there is going to be outrage. I for one am tired of government telling me what not to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
couesdiehard Report post Posted July 22, 2011 CEI, Don't anything about the other maps, but the one you posted has been published for many years and the FS places them out in boxes at trailheads, ohv recreation areas, etc. Don't see any changes to this map anyway, so it doesn't appear to be much of an impact in this one area anyway.

coues krazy Report post Posted July 22, 2011 Its just another step to get us out of the woods period. Ten yards off the road? Wait until someones kid gets ran over from someone blazing down a dirt road. It will be great sitting in all the dust created by passing vehicles, quads, and side by sides. They will keep pushing, and we will keep getting pushed down. Honestly, I am not camping ten yards off a road. Thats rediculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngbuck Report post Posted July 22, 2011 I suppose it will come down do the enforcer's view on "edge of road surface". Maybe old camp pull out will be road surface in some one's eyes. Its a shame the golden rule wont apply: don't be a dip stick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZLance Report post Posted July 22, 2011 I have had that same Reddington Pass map for several years now. I havn't seen any roads close up there... Those maps are on all the trail head sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
